I was reading some Queen interviews. And something what Brian said made laugh like mad. It was 1985 Capitol Radio- Brian was a guest DJ. And here it is: "It's terrible this disc jockey business. They don't have toilets in here, you have to rush out along the corridor. I just bumped into Roger Scott who said it's terrible and they used to put on Bohemian Rhapsody in the old days so they could go for a long leak". I even couldn't imagine such way of using Bohemian Rhapsody! And Roger, talking about solo experience: "You think, yeah, I was really grooving to that song, throwing a few shapes around. And it turns out you were only tapping your foot!" So does enybody else wants to add some more funny quotes? |

Freddie :- "I'm just a musical prostitute my dear".That always makes me laugh |

Kenny: And now here’s Freddie with the weather! Freddie: Oh God! He’s just put it in my lap, I can’t believe it! Weather for the Capitol area: it’s dry with long sunny periods, clean spells this evening, cold… Kenny: CLEAR spells. Freddie: Oh, [laughs] It’s you’re writing! Clear spells – yes that’s right. Clear spells this evening, cold high feel four centigrade… Kenny: Oh forget it! Freddie: Winds light, force two or three… well this is the way you’ve written it. It’s in code, my god! [laughs] Two or three mostly west to northwest, becoming south to south west later. [more laughs in studio]. Kenny: Are you done? Freddie: I’m sure everybody got that. Kenny: Yeah, I’m sure… Freddie: That does it, you wait ‘till you come to the studio next time! Kenny: Get your calculators out and work out the weather. |

Freddie: "This shitty guitar only knows three chords!" Brian: "I'm into paradoxes. I wanted to make an album about them, but the group told me I was a prententious fart. They were right." Roger: "This tour will be bigger than bigness itself. It will make Ben Hur look like the Muppets." |

Freddie's famous quote about a Bedlam inmate. "Richard Dadd killed his dad." |

I LOL everytime I watch the "Musical Prostitute" interview where he says "I don't wake up every morning thinking "which...who am i going to work with today...."" |

And Roger, talking about solo experience: "You think, yeah, I was really grooving to that song, throwing a few shapes around. And it turns out you were only tapping your foot!" That's hilarious, when someone admits to something like that. |

Ok, here is some more Roger: "I'd like to burn down Radio 1 actually. I just can't listen to it. It's f***ing disgusting.... and people like Jonathan King should have been strangled at birth. In fact judging by the state of his head, I think he probably was!" Freddie: "Rod (Stewart), Elton (John) and I were going to form a band called Hair, Nose and Teeth after the three of us..... But it hasn't happend because none of our egoes can agree on the order of the words! Naturally I want it to be called Teeth, Nose and Hair". Freddie about their rows: "We row about everything, even the air we breath. We're the bichiest band on earth, darling. We're at each other's throats. One night Roger was in a foul mood and he threw his entire bloody drumset across the stage. The thing only just missed me- I might have been killed.... Once, Roger squirted Brian in the face with hairspray in a tiny, staming dressing room. They nearly came to blows" |

I used to have pages of Queen quotes saved on the laptop,before it crashed and everything was lost. But one John quote that i love is (about retirement) "I'll probably make loads of plans and then sit around on my bottom all day doing nothing." Somewhere i have some of them printed out, i should try to find them. |

Yes he said it. It was in 1985. I never collected the quotes. But I started to read their interviews, first of all out of curiosity and also for improving my English (it really helps in some way). Funny way of studying, ha? And I definetly like this one: A journanalist from Italy suddenly pipes up with last question: "A-what-a-you-a a-gonna do-a in-a 20years time?" "What am I going to do in 20 years time!" squeals Fred shrieking in mirth. " I'll be dead, darling! Are you mad?" |

Freddie once said something like: "Why incorporate an orchestra, while Brian gets an orchestra out of his guitar?" Sorry, this is more a paraphrase rather than the actual and correct quote. I love it, though. Freddie was so right! |

"Milk and four sugars please" Freddie on being asked how he took his tea during the recording of Innuendo in 1990. "Is it just me or is there a draught in here?" Brian after being shown into a dressing room during the Works Tour in 1984. " I've already tried turning it off and on." Roger calling an IT helpline in 2006. " I don't know, I haven't seen it yet." John on being asked what he thought of 'Shindler's List' in 1994. fatty. |

I'm curious about Freddie's Innuendo interview. Is there somewhere where I can read it?

I was at a Roger solo gig at the Riverside in Newcastle in 1994. After the gig, Roger came out front and mingled with a few of us mortals in the bar. After about 5 minutes of autographs and handshakes, Roger turned round to his "PA/Flunky" and said... "Right, fuck this, is there anywhere I can get a cup of tea in this place..." Never forgotten this. |

Freddie: "This shitty guitar never plays the chords I want it to play!" |
| Killer_queenIII 12.08.2017 07:46 |
Freddie: "I think it's really interesting doing those acoustic things, don't you think? I think in the future we might really think about introducing it some more. So Brian's gonna have to go and write some, 'cause I can't" Taken from their Earls Court concert. That last part always crack me up |

Freddie: " I hear David Bowie is calling himself the Thin White Duke, which is an insult to thin people, white people and peers of the realm." |

Freddie:"I dress to kill, but tastefully". |
